If you can explain your uniqueness and why your client should choose you (benefits) over all your competition then you will have taken away the price issue. Thanks for your comment Jody! Hi Jody,

I'm not sure I agree 100%, but I don't necessarily disagree either. Actually, I think the reason I'm on the fence is because it's a personal rule of mine to immediately leave any web site that doesn't list prices...or even worse, posts the hated "Call for Price" statement. In my mind that statement simply tells me that it's overpriced and therefore they need me to call so they can massage the wording when they break the bad news to me...or in other words "SELL" me on it. I don't want to be sold. Tell me the specifics and let me make my decision. Now, I'll be honest, I'm a male and a web developer...so I'm not ENTIRELY the demographic that salon web sites are trying to reach. That demographic may surf the Internet differently than I do. Plus, I am capable of creating a very thorough web site for our salon that sets it apart from others as being a higher value, upscale salon (http://www.ElleMarieHairStudio.com). So I'm not afraid to list our prices...which are actually more than reasonable anyway so it's sort of a non-issue. (To clarify for those wondering, although I own a salon, it's family-owned and I simply handle the marketing - not a stylist - that would be my sister. I'm also in the process of launching a marketing company much like David's, but I'm in the US, so not exactly competing with his.) Keep up the good work, David! Great article, David.
